Copernicus Incubation Programme

29/01/2018

Earth observation and big data from the Copernicus programme offer unique insights into life on Earth, its environment and people. The Copernicus Incubation Programme launched by the European Commission supports European entrepreneurs and start-ups working with these data to create innovative, commercially viable products and services. This initiative is part of the Copernicus Start-up Programme.

The programme will yearly award up to 50,000 EUR to 20 start-ups working with Copernicus data and services, either in the early incubation of a working product or in the phase leading up to launch. The programme aims to support innovative entrepreneurs with international growth potential to boost the use of Copernicus data and services.
